SUMMARY:Rising to the challenge of coral reef restoration
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jason Spadaro joined Mote in December 2021 as a Postdoctoral Scientist to integrate an ecosystem approach into Mote’s premier science-based Coral Reef Restoration Program. His research focuses on manipulating ecological processes to support the restoration and recovery of Florida’s Coral Reef and other coral reef ecosystems. \nIn this lecture\, on Jan. 9\, Spadaro will explain how coral reefs are in trouble\, and how Mote Marine Laboratory scientists are pioneers in coral reef restoration. Mote’s team actively propagates and restores corals to degraded reef structures\, while actively selecting the most resilient and robust corals with the goal of creating a strong and resilient community of restored corals. \nRecently\, Mote has also invested in the restoration of critical ecosystem functions\, such as grazing by herbivores such as Caribbean king crabs. Led by Spadaro\, Mote scientists are engaged in the aquaculture of this large crab species that consumes many of the algae that otherwise would compete with corals for space on the reef. Tying all of these intricate and complex components together is nothing short of challenging. However\, Spadaro\, his team\, and everyone at Mote are more than up to the challenge with cutting-edge science guiding the way. \nTickets are on sale now at  mote.org/lecture. \n
